2005 Hyundai Trajet 2.0L Petrol · LL05 FFY

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical neglect and deferred preventative care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 52,814 miles passed, the list of advisories increased significantly compared to previous years, introducing a severely deteriorated CV boot, a binding rear caliper, and thinning brake pads. The persistence of these issues suggests that the owner addresses only the minimum requirements necessary to pass the inspection rather than performing proactive maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The car has covered only 6,323 miles between December 2021 and December 2025. This low usage explains the recurring issues with age-related decay, such as the cracking and perishing of tyres noted in 2022 and 2025. Low mileage often indicates the vehicle sits for long periods, which leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite minimal mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front driveshaft area, as the CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2023 and remained a concern through 2025. The persistent front oil leak noted in every single annual test since 2022 requires a close look to determine if it is a minor seep or a developing seal failure. Furthermore, the nearside rear brake binding and the thin pads indicate that the braking system requires immediate attention to ensure even wear and to prevent damage to the rotors.
